Well…Obama would be sitting in his Oval Office punching numbers on his phone right now. After an inauguration attended and watched by a record number of crowds, boy would he be proud. Being the first African-American president of the United States is a real change in the marginalised US of A. Oh, I’m sorry! Let’s get back to that. Is Obama African-American?
In fact, Obama is as Caucasian as he is Black. He is as Irish as he is African. It’s a bit unfair for Caucasians to classify Obama as an African-American rather than an Irish-American isn’t it? So when Americans chant that history has been made, is it true?
If we classify Obama as someone of mixed race, would he have made history? Actually Abraham Lincoln was the first mixed race president of the United States. Not Barack Hussain Obama. So why is the media so frenzy about Obama being elected as president of the US of A? Why such a fuss?
We all know that the former president of US of A messed things up pretty bad in his eight years. Well, Obama is the saviour, the Messiah. He came to save the Americans from a war-torn Iraq, the crippling economy and all the injustices bestowed by G.W.Bush. Much like how Mr. Nasheed saved us from Mr. Maumoon. Obama is the Messiah who would lift America as a popularly credible World leader once again.
Why is the World so interested and excited about who takes the Oval office? I’ll tell you why. If America tumbles the World falls over, if America sneezes the World catches a cold and importantly if they make an error the World gets punished. So we all wanted a change in the US of A’s domestic and international policy.
Lets see how Obama waves his magic wand and get the US economy running, lets see how the marginalised ethnicities in the US will prevail, lets see how democratic Iraq would be when he removes the US forces in 16 months, lets see how crippled the Talebans and Al-Qaeda get when he injects troops into Afghanistan, let us see how the US would rank in human rights when he closes Guantanamo Prison, lets see how Israelis and Palestinians would find an everlasting peace and lets see how a defying Iran is befriended and tamed.
Obama is a politician, politicians only say what people want to hear. It is apparent he is an excellent orator, a thousand times better than G.W.Bush. Obama obviously didn’t make history by being the first mixed race president. But actions speak louder than words; let’s inspect him after he really makes history by cleaning the mess left by G.W.Bush.
